Two more models added to the product line. This time we have a pair of 1968 Mustang Fastbacks. These are the BGR (Black & Gold Racing Team), a pair of tribute racers harking back to the late '60's /early '70's style of SCCA sedan racing.
Prepared from limited documentation and using a little 'license' to help make these racers an accurate representation of similar style cars that raced in that period. These models are part of the 'Club Sport' series of grass roots racers and make an attractive addition to any American Iron slot car grid.
These models are available on general release from February 21st. The gold car has the model ref: P008 and the black car has the model ref of P004.

With the Bullitt Mustang selling very well all over the world, our attention must now firmly focus on the next couple of projects - and the first couple of models up are the eagerly awaited Notchback cars. P006, car #31 and P010, car #22.
Production is under way at the factory facility with expected release mid-December. As with the Bullitt Mustang, one of the Pioneer team will be at the factory during the production process keeping an eye on progress and ensuring that we produce a first class slot car to follow the Bullitt Mustang.
The Notchback cars of 1967/68 appear to have been 'The Forgotten Mustangs' of the Trans AM era despite it being a Championship winning car in 1967. With a loyal fan base and still fondly recalled by motorsport fans, this particular model is long overdue a slot car replica
The Pioneer models will share similar chassis features to the P001 Bullitt '68 Fastback and will also carry the Scalextric DPR chip facility for users that wish to go digital.
There are some attractive and good-looking liveries planned for late 2009 and mid 2010 release - plenty to keep racers and collectors happy.
Also due very soon are the Pioneer Race Kits.
These will be available in a variety of formats and styles, using both the Fastback and Notchback Mustang body shapes. Both plain white and painted kits will be available with decal sheets allowing the kit maker to adapt the contents to build a variety of different models.
More info on these Race Kits will be available later this month.
